Episode: Traditional Diets Reverse Diabetes | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Jay Wortman
Description: In 1992, Dr. Wortman developed type 2 diabetes and quickly discovered that it could be controlled by restricting dietary carbohydrates. He went on to do clinical research on low-carbohydrate diets and became a little bit famous for a study he did in the Namgis First Nation of Alert Bay which was the subject of the CBC documentary film, "My Big Fat Diet". His research interest in the dietary management of obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes led him back into clinical practice where he prescribes therapeutic diet changes for a range of physical and mental pathologies.
